If you’re travelling in a vehicle filled with cash and cannabis and a cop’s car is behind you, the last thing you should do is roll down your window and start throwing out evidence. These guys did it first.
The movie-like turn of events occurred after a suspicious vehicle was spotted travelling around Katherine, a rural community 3-hours south of Darwin.
Once officers located the vehicle and started approaching, the bags started flying. As they do in the movies, so they do in real life – the vehicle was finally stopped, and the occupants apprehended.
Police found multiple backs of cannabis inside the vehicle and hidden near the battery in the engine.
Once they found their way back to the drop site, police found another four bags of cannabis along with a couple of pencil cases stuffed with cash.
Altogether, 445 grams of cannabis and $5468.50 in cash was found. Both men were charged with various drug offences and will appear in court later this year.
